A major security flaw has been discovered in the TCP stacks of almost
all the major operating systems including Win NT, NetWare 3, AIX,
Linux, HP-UX, MacOS, and even some Ascend and Bay Networks dial-in
boxes. Patches and more info can be found at:

I urge all of you to at least read this page to find out if your
systems are affected.
